Hey Boffo, just so you're aware for the numbers (can't remember the proper thread)

Microsoft has announced they've sold 31.4 million 360s.

We were only off by 600,000 so I'll claim our numbers as being within a reasonable range of accuracy.

360 given slight increase based on latest MS update.

Wii sells 9M in Japan, PS3 hits 4M mark - News at GameSpot

Wii sells 9M in Japan, PS3 hits 4M mark
By Tom Magrino, GameSpot Posted Dec 16, 2009 12:33 pm PT Enterbrain reports Nintendo's and Sony's consoles achieved multimillion-unit milestones during week ending Dec. 13; New Super Mario Bros. sells 465K in second week.

PlayStation 3 and Wii sales have by and large been neck-and-neck for the past few months in Japan, save for when the launch of a big-name title such as New Super Mario Bros. disrupts the balance. Still, Nintendo's console holds a sizable sales lead over its more powerful--and pricier--rival, a fact that was evidenced in glaring detail this week by Famitsu publisher and stat-tracking firm Enterbrain.


Mario will be raking in the golden coins for some time to come.
According to Japanese news site Andria Sang, Enterbrain announced today that both the Wii and PS3 had achieved significant sales milestones during the week ending December 13. The stat-tracking firm reports that the Wii topped the 9-million-unit mark during the period, having now sold 9,048,012 consoles since its December 2006 launch. Nintendo said two months ago that the console had sold more than 56 million units worldwide through September.
As for Sony's PS3, the console surpassed the 4-million-unit mark in Japan during the same week, having launched just a few weeks before the Wii in November 2006. Through December 13, the console has sold 4,020,563 units in Japan, and the PS3's global sales figures through September stand at 27 million.

Enterbrain also provided a sales update on New Super Mario Bros. Wii, saying that the game has sold 1,401,558 through December 13 in Japan. Last week, the stat-tracking firm revealed that Nintendo's latest platformer had sold 936,734 from December 3-6--the game's first tracked week of availability--and was the best opening performance for a Wii title in Japan since the console launched in the region. The latest figure indicates that New Super Mario Bros. Wii sold nearly 465,000 units during its second week of availability in Japan.

So stop doing it.

All 3 consoles need a boost. dz's post says the Wii was at 56 million back in September. It's easily over 60 million by now. The PS3 was at 27 million at the same time. And Microsoft just announced they reached 39 million worldwide.

Do I need to make the "Only post sales numbers here" comment in bigger and bolder font with different colours or do you need it explained in more detail what that means because it hasn't been dumbed down enough for you Mr. bomb? Last warning.

As far as our outdated numbers I realize we're behind but our updater thingy links to the old server so we currently can't change the numbers. I've been busy recently and keep forgetting to send Dennis an email about it. Keep posting sales updates so we can get the numbers accurate once we can change them again.
